Jacob William Aladar Parker, 23, died Saturday, April 20, at a Santa Barbara hospital, the county sheriff’s department said. He had fallen around 2:30 that afternoon from the 50-foot bluff along Del Playa Drive, in the Isla Vista neighborhood near the University of California campus.
Parker, a 2023 graduate of UC Santa Barbara, had been living in San Diego. He returned to Santa Barbara for the weekend’s All-Gaucho Reunion and was attending a party at an apartment building on Del Playa when he reportedly climbed over a 4-foot fence at the cliff’s edge and fell to the beach, sources told the Santa Barbara Independent.
Parker’s LinkedIn page said he graduated in 2019 from Carlmont, then attended Santa Barbara City College before going on to receive a bachelor’s degree from UCSB last year.
He was the 14th person to die from a fall at the Isla Vista cliffs since 1994; most of those were students. The hazards prompted the county’s board of supervisors to approve a plan last fall to raise the fences along the bluff to 6 feet, among other safety measures.
